Ewing's (18pts) NBA Debut vs. Moses Malone (35pts/13rebs) (1985)

- Опубликовано: 13 сен 2015
- Rookie Patrick Ewing gets one helluva assignment in his NBA regular season debut. The veteran Philadelphia 76ers and Moses Malone are his first opponents in a meaningful game. Even though Patrick starts out strong and manages to keep up with Moses throughout the first half, Malone (and the Sixers, on the whole) slowly build a lead in the second half. Moses manages to get to the line for 18 free throw attempts (made 15 of them) and is on the forefront of a rebounding annihilation (59 for Philly, 29 for New York). October 26, 1985.
R.I.P. Moses Malone.

That damn Malone was a beast. Probably the most underrated center in NBA history.
Moses was 100% on his free throws against the Knicks, and has the best mid range shot.
Ewing in the beginning had the agility of a tall forward and his jump fadeaway was spectacular.
Ewing did some good things in his first ever pro game, but for the most part school was in session. Old man Moses dominating boards and relentless with the put backs.
Moses was always hungry for rebounds. Patrick didn’t stand a chance.
Yeah, quite an assignment for your first game. Did pretty good considering. Watch a few years later and Ewing was sooooo good
Mose Malone was a offensive rebounding; lo we post 📫 & rebounding machine
What a way to get your first NBA basket by Ewing, with that monster putback at 0:20. And what a test individually to go againts moses Malone in your NBA debut.
Great upload, thanks!
+saturndual32 I had to do a special video for Moses...
+LamarMatic I hadnt gotten the news till now... R.IP. Moses Malone.
R.I.H. Rest In Heaven Malone!
I was at that game. Moses took Ewing to school that night. 💪
It was an absolute pleasure to watch two of the greatest big men the NBA has ever and will ever see wage war, in this video! Patrick Ewing was a very athletic neophyte (He's my favorite player of all-time), but clearly, a master was at work, here. Moses Malone was simply dominant (as always). Patrick Ewing held his own, though, undoubtedly. Those Sixers teams were STACKED with talent. Ewing definitely changed the culture in NY. Great to see him as a rookie, and great to see Moses Malone giving him everything he could handle & more. You can tell Moses is putting on a master class, with the way he got to the free throw line, with ease. Great game. Great upload. Thanks for sharing and RIP Moses. 2 Legends, for sure. It's hard to say a 3 TIME MVP is underrated, but Moses is undoubtedly overlooked when talking about the greatest players to ever lace em up. He's relentless!
+Mark Deez I can feel your excitement just by reading your post. Cheers! I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
Mark Deez - definitely Moses was underrated. Actually, perhaps his greatest supporter was Hakeem who credits Moses Malone for teaching hin the game both in Houston during his college years as well as the NBA. He said there would be no Hakeem the Dream without Moses Malone.
Very True! Hakeem learned a lot from Moses. So did Barkley.
I think one of things that helped make Hakeem so good was he had a long body and short legs. Hakeem had the length of a near 7 footer but could move so quick do to his fast twitch muscles and shorter legs. Ewing was very long legged with a much higher center of gravity.
@@ckobo84 Yeah, which is why he's more stationary.
Here after the knucklehead podcast. Ewing wasn’t lying, Moses gave him that WORK 😂
RIP Moses. Great memories.
Magistral Moses Malone uno de los más grandes pivots de la historia del baloncesto.
Rip Maestro
Ewing looks very quick and explosive here. He wasn't like that in the 90s even in his prime
+Kobe Not Top 100 even though ewing had one of the great teams of the 90s, his actual prime imo was the first six or seven years of his career.
he knees were failing.
Ewing was 23 years old. He better be explosive and quick
had to change his game after 3rd season cos of his knees. basically became a jump shooter but still a good defender and rebounder.
His knees, As great as Ewing was, it it weren’t for his knees he would of gotten a ring or two and in the GOAT discussions
With nothing but love to one of my favorite bigs Tim Duncan: the original "Big Fundamental" was Moses Malone. Absolutely, positively, no flash - tough as nails, athletic, great court vision, made his free throws, great post moves, rebounding and block champion and had to play in the "in between" era against young bigs like Patrick as well as older cats like Kareem. Guy was no joke.
RIP Moses
This reminded me how great Moses Malone was.
Moses was just relentless..Always played with a good hard mentality
Never understood why the Sixers couldn’t get another title in the 80s
lakers and Celtics were really a hard team to beat nearly unstoppable
Love it, thanks for posting.
RIP Moses
This was a damn good Sixer team to have your first game against. They're coming off a championship only 2 years before with one of the best centers in the league. Talk about putting someone in a sink or swim situation...
Love those rebounds all effort
Moses was a MONSTER the second he stepped on the court as a pro out of HIGH SCHOOL.
To see him go to work brought a tear to my eye....when the C was a battle....Young Ewing was up for the task...but the Master Moses Malone just totally schooled him as he did EVERY Big man he EVER faced. RIPower Moses E. Malone
They were both so good that the duel became an ugly battle between the great giants: Ewing's occasional brilliance v. Malone's foul-trouble inducing moves and FT-line magic. One type of classic Moses.
Ewing did amazing considering the beast he was up against in his first NBA game. 10 years later and Ewing was schooling youngsters like Shaq....
I hate when people think Moses was the bozo of the Malone's (obviously they're not related). Moses was a beast. RIP. Great video.
They don't know basketball...Moses Malone is deservedly one of the 50 greatest NBA stars, not players but stars! These two are my fav big men...RIP Big Mo'... "fo fo fo"
But Moses and Karl do look alike
No one thinks either Malone was a bozo.
23 year old Patrick Ewing's introduction into the league by 30 year old Moses Malone
Cool video, gritty battle between Ewing & Moses
Fantastic stuff per usual @LamarMatic. Thx.
+KWAPT Thanks for spreading the word on Twitter.
Quite the walk by Moses at 2:00 lol
Happy Birthday Patrick Ewing 59 Today!🍰🎂💪🎉🥳
RIP Moses Malone
I see where the dream got that turnaround jumper from💪🏾
you could never draw a charge on moses, because he always MAINTAINED contact with the defender.
Ewing was going to become one of the best centers of all time, but, at the moment, and in this particular game, 'Mo' Malone is way better....
Big Mo is better than Ewing all-time, and arguably a top 5 center all-time.
In a 82 game season, Ewing will only play in the next 49 games. Due to injury he was still named roty
Moses was killa from the stripe something big men dont know about these days
Amazing studd
Stuff** my bad lol
RIP Moses.
Why there aren't any guys like Moses who get close to the paint phisically, and make easy baskets, or draw fouls (I've been amazed of the fact that he made this night 15/18 FT)? (I mean if they are very well built they can use it to their advantage). Moses would get close to the paint with the presence of the defender, as close as he could, and shoot from there, without dribling very much. I love these type of players, defenders are a bit scared to defend them because of the amount of phisical contact (but they are PRO-s have to come up against that or stay in the bench). Also when Moses is just exactly, scrupulously under the paint, for whatever reason (cathing a pass, get a rebound, whatever, etc.), say goodbye to defense because he will use his body in his advantage to make the score (perhaps he might draw a foul and miss a free throw, but, it is very, very high percentage basket play), even though he is not a 7'1''. Anyway, I only feel that Shaq does this job better than him but because he is taller (Moses is 6'10'', and Shaq is 7'1'' and also fatter). But what a human specimen is Moses!! Such a beast in the paint, knowing how to stay in shape phisically. Besides taking rebounds better than anybody, making big blocks. It's sheer, pure and neat strength. He is so well built, with enourmous and gifted back and incredible chest. And definitely Moses did know how to use his strength in his advantage! I'm amazed of Moses and so happy that he taught Hakeem and Barkley to play this game
Post play is a lost art. The 50ft jumpshot replaced it
Damn Moses knockin down them foul shots like a Boss.
It's weird seeing barkley or Ewing not be the best player on the court
Free throw merchant
RIP SOUND
I was only eight and started watching the NBA around the '85 Finals, but not consistently until after '86. Can someone tell me why the 76ers didn't stay together/stay dominant after their '83 Championship? I recall they did quite terribly in '84. I mean they had lots of talent/legends: Bobby Jones, Cheeks, Toney, the Dr., Moses, and later Barkley. Why didn't Moses stay in Phily?
G Ryen IIRC the Sixers really suffered later on due to Andrew Toney's injury problems with his foot. He was going to be the future of their franchise along with Barkley. Unfortunately that never materialized the way they wanted it to, and after suffering a crushing defeat in game 7 against the 86 Bucks they decided to blow it up and start rebuilding around Charles. They traded Moses to the Bullets that summer, Bobby Jones retired around the same time, and then Dr.J ended up retiring the year after.
Owner Fitz Dixon panicked and dumped after a couple of playoff failures, early exits. Moses was making big bucks and he didn't want to pay if they were getting bounced out early. But I still say it was a mistake. They should've done a better job of building around him. Toney getting injured was a major issue and they never replaced him.
Hm, never really thought of Daugherty as a "terror". Thought of him as a very good albeit soft center. The guy that would have been a terror was Len Bias. That guy would have been a lean mean machine.
@@ckobo84 Daugherty wasn't soft as much as he was unathletic. He could score in the post and grab his share of boards, but he was a plodder and that definitely showed up in his lack of defense.
5:49 wasn’t called anything. It was a charge but look how tough this brand of ball is.
1 game ewing for knicks great
How does a team with Dr J, Moses, Cheeks, Barkley, and Toney NOT win a title?
Easy. The finalists had Magic, Kareem, Worthy, Scott, and Cooper on one team, and Bird, Parish, McHale, Ainge, and Dennis Johnson on the other. The top of the NBA was stacked in those years.
Moses was just a better player all around than Ewing.
If this Sixers lineup were all the same age in their prime they would make the Golden State Warriors look like a B-team.
